Lowell Cohn's pertinent and impertinent take on sports

Kind advice for Jim Harbaugh

Here is the opening to my Sunday column about Jim Harbaugh in which I offer him some well-meaning advice:

I offer this advice to Jim Harbaugh as the football season fades in the rearview mirror and baseball looms ahead. I offer this advice to be helpful, even friendly.

Now that he has time — no games coming up — Harbaugh might take time to reflect about himself, about what he does well and not so well as a coach. He always talks about wanting his team to improve one percent every day. I hope he applies the same standard to himself. He owes himself no less.
